I was looking for a short, steamy read that could perk me up last week when I was doing college finals. I definitely found it in "Night of the Cougar" by Caridad Pineiro. This book helped me get out of my reading funk thanks to Biology and Math exams.

Reporter Jaime Morrison is sent to interview Galen who is a best selling author. She ends up not only getting an interview, but a night of passion from the sexy author. After a year, of not seeing him, she is sent to interview him again. This time though, she's going to be stranded with him due to a snowstorm. She also is going to find out a secret about him and why he is hidden from people nowadays. Galen doesn't want to end up hurting Jaime, so he tries everything to send her away, but for some reason he can't. He's forced to come out with the truth and he may end up losing her

My thoughts on the book were of course very steamy, and sexy. It's a very short read, but it quenched my paranormal romance thirst that I was looking for. I had a hard time putting down my Kindle while reading this book, thanks to Caridad and how the story developed between the characters. She also delivered some very sexy, hot, steamy scenes between Galen and Jaime. Oh boy! I think I had to cool myself down with glass of water...or was it a cool shower. =)

I loved the character Jaime and how persistent she was with Galen. She never gave up on him, even when he told her his secret. She even put him in his place. (gotta love a female character like her)

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves the paranormal romance genre, loves erotic romance genre, and loves were-cougars. (Oh yes...were-cougars!!)

This book will take you on a steamy ride up a mountain with a were-cougar...what more could you ask for? (Now...I want my own personal were-cougar)...more

I was provided a courtesy copy of “Kissed by a Vampire” from the author in exchange for an honest review.First,Review also posted on Book Lovin' Mamas

I was provided a courtesy copy of “Kissed by a Vampire” from the author in exchange for an honest review.First, off, let me apologize, ahead of time since I wanted this review out sooner since I was provided an advance reading copy, but due to not being around any WiFi services I was not able to. =(My Mom lives out in the country and does not have Internet and that is where I’m currently visiting, so I’m at Starbucks to make sure my review goes live today. (And that is near University of Illinois) (Needless to say, I’m having withdrawals not being able to get on the Internet) “Kissed by a Vampire” is about Stacia and Alex Garcia. Stacia is an elder vampire and she is now in Miami to get away from her former life in New York. She ends up meeting up with someone she never thought she would see again, Alex Garcia. A DEA Agent who she helped saves from death. Stacia has always been alone for years and never though she would fall in love with again, especially someone who is human. Alex Garcia has had nightmares since he’s near death experience and he has always had dreams about the beautiful Stacia. He never thought he would see her again in person. He thought, maybe he dreamt his experience with her. He cannot help, but be intrigued by her, but he has no idea that vampires exist. Alex is going undercover at a club that girls are disappearing at because one of his friends has asked him to find his daughter, Andrea that went missing. That is when Alex comes across Stacia. It is up to Alex to undercover the missing girls and Stacia never thought she would help him find them. Stacia is trying everything not to see Alex, but he has a pull on her and she’ll find herself not being able to resist the handsome Latino, who she vampire kissed him years ago.“Kissed by a Vampire” is a book that is full of romance, mystery, and action that will keep you turning the pages. I loved the characters in the books and it has me wanting to read the previous books before this one, to find out what happened to the former lovers of Stacia and Alex. They came together for a reason though, and they are perfect for each other. Alex needed someone in his life so he can forget about his former love and Stacia needed someone to get over her life of being alone and her bad experiences of what happened when she turned an vampire hundreds of years ago. I’ve read other books from Caridad before and I love her writing style and how she has me fall in love with the characters of the story. She even has me loving the action and mystery of the story. I recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance, vampires, mystery, and action to their books. You’ll definitely want to read the first books to the series first…which I plan to in the near future. =) Looking forward to Caridad’s next book. =) ...more
